Title: old wordpress.com admin panel Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # old wordpress.com admin panel * [sbsmike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbsmike/) * (@sbsmike) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-wordpresscom-admin-panel/) * This is driving me bonkers. I’ve had my blog at wordpress.com for quite a while. Tonight I bought hosting space with GoDaddy and installed the WordPress.org plug- in through their site. Whenever I try and visit [http://mydomain.com/wp-admin](http://mydomain.com/wp-admin) it just keeps redirecting me to my OLD wordpress.com admin, not my new wordpress. org admin. A step by step on how to fix this would be amazing. Thank you so much.

I have been using this to log into my dashboard.

I can’t seem to get to any of my wordpress.org panels even though they are installed on my GoDaddy account correctly…it keeps redirecting to my old wordpress.com admin panel * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-wordpresscom-admin-panel/#post-1504052) * Visit your domain registrar and set the name servers for your domain to point to godaddy’s name servers. Once that’s done you may have to wait 2-48 hours for the changes to take effect. * If you continue this thread, please provide a URL to your domain. * Thread Starter [sbsmike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbsmike/) * (@sbsmike) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-wordpresscom-admin-panel/#post-1504057) * Ok cool, I have my Nameservers at GoDaddy pointing to: NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2. WORDPRESS.COM, and NS3.WORDPRESS.COM. Still the same problem though…only seeing my old wordpress.com admin panel. * URL for my domain is [http://www.theloudestsound.com](http://www.theloudestsound.com) * [MichaelH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelh/) * (@michaelh) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-wordpresscom-admin-panel/#post-1504059) * Your name servers need to point to Godaddy’s name servers!!!!! * [http://help.godaddy.com/article/664](http://help.godaddy.com/article/664) * Thread Starter [sbsmike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbsmike/) * (@sbsmike) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-wordpresscom-admin-panel/#post-1504060) * Ok…sorry, I see what you mean. I did that…so now I wait I suppose. I’ll post back after I find out what happens… * [http://www.theloudestsound.com](http://www.theloudestsound.com) * Thread Starter [sbsmike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sbsmike/) * (@sbsmike) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-wordpresscom-admin-panel/#post-1504082) * Great! This seems to be working. Now I’m going to import my old wordpress.com file into wordpress.org. From now on do I keep the nameserver at GoDaddy as it is? I’m assuming yes because I’m actually hosting there and no longer at wordpress, correct?
